Alaafin of Oyo , Oba Lamidi Adeyemi , has said his first 20 years on the throne was rough and full of turbulence .

Oba Adeyemi spoke during a visit to Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi , in his palace on Friday.

The royal father commended Oba Akanbi ’ s courage despite many distractions he faced .

“ I commend Oluwo for his courage , tenacity, and zeal in standing tall despite enormous distractions stage-managed by his few subjects .

“ I had tougher experience in the first 20 years of my reign, very rough and turbulent . It is what Yoruba will call “ Ojumo kan, Ogun kan – one day , one war , ” Alaafin said .

Speaking further , Alaafin also said Iwo town should have been made the capital of Osun State owing to its traditional , political, and religious sagacity .

A statement by Alli Ibraheem , the Chief Press Secretary to Oluwo, further noted that Oba Adeyemi , while responding to a charge by Oba Akanbi on him to unite monarchs in Yorubaland , said “the bridge of peace in Yorubaland was affected through the infiltration into the institution by politicians of the old Oyo Empire .

“ The challenge from every quarter, as it equally comes from Oluwo is a challenge to rise to that occasion and do the much needful without retraction . ”

Speaking earlier , Oba Akanbi lamented the disunity among traditional rulers in Yoruba land.

Oluwo said , “ Yoruba traditional institution is porous, one without unity and lacking the strength to protect and secure Yorubaland .

“ It is disheartening there was no formidable central Council of Obas that will issue a statement of appeal and command , where necessary , most especially as it relates to the recent destruction that accompanied the recent # EndSARS protest in the South -West.

“ Unity is not only our strength but ( it) is also a green light to the security and hope of Yorubaland and her generations . I want to charge and appeal to the respected Alaafin of Oyo to use his traditional paraphernalia and stronghold to bring out an olive branch and unite actors in the council . ”
